What does it mean when I water my houseplant (peace lily) and the water goes straight through?

It means one of two things: the soil was very dry, or it drains very well. Well draining soil is not a problem, but very dry soil is, as peace lillies prefer their soil on the moister side.

You may wish to ask yourself when the last time was that you repotted your peace lily, and what kind of soil you're using. They like a rich, loose soil with lots of oranic material (humus, which is compost at the end of it's cycle). They like to be watered and misted, a bit less in the wintertime.

Only, you never want to let the soil get dried up. Repot every year in fresh, new soil that is very good quality. I use Miracle Grow.

I hope this is helpful.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
